As you know, the miticides have not been tested for toxicity to bees at the
levels now being seen in wax and comb. And, high levels may not equal
hazard. But, based on WHAT and HOW MUCH is in wax and comb, the major
pesticides are miticides and fungicides, with neonics in only a small percentage
- 10% from the data, maybe 20% if the CA beekeepers are right (and that for
all pesticide kills, not just CCD).
The delayed effect that you see is more likely a pathogen - and I hope to
have proof by next spring. Jerry
